Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into even strips, about 1 inch wide, and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and soy sauce until fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds (if using).

Step 5

Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, coating it completely. Finally, press it into the panko-sesame mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken strips on a plate or tray and let them rest for 5 minutes to help the breading adhere.

Step 7

In a large skillet or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Working in batches, fry the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili, honey mustard, or soy-dipping sauce.
